Hi all,

Sorry it’s been so long, what a big long busy few months it’s been! February marked the end of our second year of business and what a fabulous year it was. We have so many super volunteers, giving out great advice on our behalf, and we managed a huge 258 hires!

We’ve also had a few charity events and are pleased to say that we donated £445 to charity between Feb 2016-Feb 2017.

We have also got some new paperwork systems, updated some of our more tired “well loved” carriers and as of July, a BRAND NEW professionally designed logo for the Library!

We’re really excited about them and hope you like them too!

Hi all

Long time, no post (almost a month!)

Sling meet and library are going well, and we love joining forces with the Bracknell NCT who now run their bumps, babies and toddler group at the same time in the hall- which means lots of fun toys for all pre-school ages!

Recently we ran our logo competition and had some really lovely entries (see below) from some very talented artists both within and outside of the Bracknell Sling Meet group.

In the end we chose Rumana’s design (below) which we felt was really beautifully simple and would reproduce well, which is key for a logo.

Rumanas design was sent off to American Artist and Photographer Erin Poyner who cleaned it up for us and kindly designed us an image to use as a banner for our site and social media (and maybe printed publications in the future too).

Erin was new to the concept of babywearing but this image really represents all those wonderful feelings when you carry your baby close to you- she really understood what babywearing means to us!

We have made a donation to Erin for her dog Ziggy’s recent surgery as a thank you for her work. You can also donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/ziggydog and for donations over $50 she is offering a customised pen & ink drawing in the beautiful intricate Zentangle style .
